Frequently Asked Questions

Ugh, we hate our shipping prices to certain locations. Paracosm was consulted by an experienced distribution firm when we created this project. We know exactly how much it costs to ship a product the size and weight of NPC. Unfortunately sending our game to the EU is remarkably expensive.

Why does it cost more to send a game to France than it does to send one to Australia? I don't know. What I do know is that this is our first project. Our main focus is printing this game, delivering it on time, and putting our company in a position that allows us to make more games in the future. There, most likely, are better ways to send our game to Europe, but it is something we'll have to investigate after the funding period is over.

If you are an EU backer and you really want to support us, but can't put up the money for shipping, I recommend getting the print and play. We priced it so that you would be able to afford printing it yourself at a comparable price. It is not the best solution, but it's what we can offer for now. Believe me, we are as frustrated with these prices as you are.

Our printer is DeLano Service out of Battle Creek Michigan. They handle printing for card and boardgames all the time. Lake we said this is our first game. We worked closely with our representative to determine what we needed for NPC. Many of the measurements used are new to us, but since people were curious we want to provide as much information as possible.

Our cards will be 2.5" x 3.5" with rounded edges. We chose the 12 pt. cards which is the sturdiest variety that DeLano offers. Our cards will also have an Aqueous coating which will prevent most damage from liquid, dirt, and common gaming related disasters.

For expanded information on card thickness here is a quote from our printer:
"It’s an American reference. It means a card is .012” thick. Most cards hover between 10 and 12pt."
